    Gabby Reece on The Superpower of LOVE and Following Your Whisper | Episode 5

    What if the key to an extraordinary life isn't having all the answers—but learning to listen to the whisper? In this raw and revelatory episode of Impossible Dreams, host Aaron Lazar sits down with volleyball icon, entrepreneur, and wellness visionary Gabby Reece for a conversation that will make you question everything you thought you knew about success, parenting, and what it really means to be strong. As Aaron navigates his ALS diagnosis with radical presence and unconventional healing, he and Gabby explore what becomes possible when you refuse to let fear dictate your life. Gabby reveals the unconventional childhood secret that made her who she is today (hint: it wasn't stability), why being "a little screwed up" might actually be your competitive advantage, and the controversial truth about masculine and feminine energy that society gets completely backwards. From growing up in the Virgin Islands without a roadmap to building a clean food empire with big-wave legend Laird Hamilton, Gabby shares how following "the whisper" led her to everything she never knew she wanted. But this isn't just another success story. Aaron and Gabby dive into the messy, beautiful reality of parenting in the digital age (with Aaron's son Adrian right there in the studio), why love isn't weakness but actually the most powerful force we have access to, and the profound lesson Laird taught about revenge (spoiler: he doesn't believe in it). Plus: nature’s way of pushing your limits, why comfort a blessing and a curse, grieving while you're still alive, and the one truth Gabby would "hang her hat on" above everything else…LOVE. If you've ever felt lost, questioned your path, or wondered if there's more to life than what you've been told—this episode is your permission slip to trust yourself. Guest Bio: Gabby Reece is an iconic professional volleyball player, sports announcer, fashion model, author, entrepreneur, and podcast host. Standing 6'3", she became one of the most recognizable faces in women's beach volleyball and used her platform to become a fitness icon and wellness entrepreneur.
